Get to Know ADHD Better!

April 1st 2009 06:10
“May I get your attention here, Brian?” Mary yell to his son that having the ADHD.
For your information, Mary is one of my colleagues and she has a seven-year-old son, Brian who has been diagnosed as the ADHD patient.

You must be wondering, “What’s the heck of this ADHD?” Well, ADHD is actually a short form of “Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder” and is a neurobehavioral development disorder. It claimed to happen on 3 to 5 percent of children with several types of symptoms before seven years of age! According to the past studies, ADHD is twice as much in boys than girls.




Most of the ADHD children will have these following common symptoms:

Hyperactivity: They seem cannot even sit down for more than a minute, instead they’re hyperactive with all the climbing on things, jumping and restless sleep!

Impulsiveness: They rarely think before taking any actions and they like to interrupt other peoples’ conversations, however they didn’t do it on purpose.

Inattention: They’re easily distracted by any moving objects, always daydreaming, cannot pay focus on what you’ve taught him/her to do.

The main causes of this ADHD are unknown. Some said it causes by genetic factor while others said it might coming from the environmental factors.

For the diet, you should avoid giving them those foods that containing additives or preservatives. Some researchers discovered that Omega-3 supplementation is good to treat ADHD.

As a precaution, you should always observe your children behaviors, and if you find that they’re having the same attitudes like above symptoms, then you must looking for help from the clinicians or doctors!

A friend of mine's son was well into his teen before he was diagnosed with ADHD so your friend is quite lucky that she has discovered the symptom quite early and now knows what the problem is.

Why brand a child for what is often the result of poor parenting skills.

They need help, but stop the branding PLEASE, everyone.

Janet, I'm very sorry for your friend's son and I hope he will be able to recover from ADHD as soon as possible!

Katyzzz, don't get me wrong, as I have no any intent to labeling the children with brand, as I'm just telling the fat and hope many other will aware of this ADHD...
